Posting a "certain type" of pictures online is never a good idea.

Especially when you’re the star player of your college football team.
But I did it anyway.

Never did I think that by posting my pictures online that I would find someone that I would actually be interested in.

But I did.

I saw her pictures, she commented on mine and the conversations were nonstop. She was the girl of my dreams and I wanted to meet her. Who knew that the girl of my dreams was the shy girl that sat next to me all semester.
Now that I know who she is, I want my shot. Only if she would give it to me. Every chance she gets, I get turned down but I'm not giving up.
I will show her that she is worth it, even if she may not think so.

WORTH EVERY SECOND is a complete standalone. A college romance that features a cocky football player that is a too hot to handle. Please visit my website for information pertaining to content warnings.

Take a walk through new and existing magical worlds, as told by this stellar collection of authors.

There's nothing like being a teenager and a witch to make things complicated.

Love is worth fighting for

Jack

Retired MMA champion “Lucky” Jack Valentine has been obsessed with music artist Penelope Mayfield from afar for years. He never expects to match up with the lovely songbird when he goes online to find a fake girlfriend for a Halloween ball at a posh country estate. Penny is far sweeter than the honeyed voice and mouthwatering curves of his fantasies, but there’s trauma hidden beneath her sunny disposition. Fate might have brought them together but earning her trust will be the hardest fight of his life.

Penny

Penny Mayfield has been a wanderer for years, landing in Ireland to finally finish her book on folk music. She no longer performs in public; that desire died with her music partner and best friend. All she wants is to have some casual fun on Halloween but one look at dangerously sexy Jack Valentine and “casual” flies out the window. Jack is silent, surly and way too intense, but he makes her crave things she stopped wishing for a long time ago.

When their magical night at the ball is over, Jack makes it crystal clear he won’t settle for anything less than her whole heart. Will Penny risk letting him in, or will his nightingale fly away?

When I inherited my uncle’s old house, I expected the chipped paint, dust bunnies, (sort of) and a sprinkle of nostalgia. It was the sweet escape from a parent’s house every thirty-something year old woman needs. What I didn’t expect was the charming, pleasant, and tea loving force that would turn my world upside down.

The force in question came after reading a seemingly whimsically innocent nursery rhyme I found from a book long forgotten from childhood. A demon, who I unknowingly helped jailbreak.

What else was I supposed to do when faced with a handsome demon, but invite him to tea? I didn’t anticipate the fast friendship that blossomed between us. When the demon asked for my help to break his contractual obligation, I couldn’t resist. Except I didn’t realize agreeing to be his fake girlfriend would blur the lines of pretend and reality.

His freedom is on the line … but so is my heart.

Pretending to date my rich, sexy, and caring friend Gabriel could grant us the deal of a lifetime… or ruin my chances of ever running my family’s company.

Gabe is handsome and surprisingly down to earth for a billionaire. Teaming up with him for a massive project shouldn’t have required us to fake a relationship.

My machista Latine family is to blame for forcing us into it. They think my goal should be to settle down and make babies, not run a corporation.

But I won’t let anything come between me and my career plans…

Until Gabe becomes my refuge. We blur the lines and break the rules. He surprises me by taking control when no one else is around, and knows exactly what to do with my curves.

Yet our deal has a deadline and our breakup is imminent.

After Mari’s father was killed, she thought the takeover of his criminal empire would be easy.
In the aftermath, Mari and her monster boyfriends discover that the true threat has been lurking under the city all along.
Calling out to him in her moment of need might have been the only way to escape, but it also might have been a mistake.
Because he says he’d burn the world for her.

Matheo is a priest by day, an executioner of sinners by night, walking the fine line between salvation and damnation. But when he meets Dove, the daughter of the Devil, his resolve begins to crumble. Dove is no ordinary woman; she is a beauty destined to make any man sin, promised to the Prophet, and feared as the angel of death and consumer of demons. Her life is a dark path of duty and death, but meeting Matheo has stirred something within her—an uncontrollable desire that threatens to unravel them both.

As Matheo grapples with his sacred vows and the consuming lust Dove ignites, she finds herself drawn to the darkness in him, a mirror of her own. Their connection is dangerous, their attraction deadly, and their union could unleash a wave of destruction that neither heaven nor hell could contain. Will Dove's duty be enough to keep the sins at bay, or will Matheo’s demons consume them both?
